Polargy’s new Highlight Visual Temperature Monitoring Light lets you see hot spots and lets you know when everything is fine with temperature. It’s a color coded light that allows operators to see if the room temperature is OK.

Yes, 40kW per rack! Polargy’s Cold Aisle Containment was used at ViaWest’s recent Plano Grand Opening to demonstrate the site’s capability to cool high density deployments of up to 40kW per rack. Paul, with our partner USNet, led the installation of Polargy’s Rack Top Baffles and PX Doors. He is standing next to ComRent’s rack mount load banks which produced the 40kW load for each rack. Temperature sensors were placed through out the aisle. These showed that with the 6′ cold aisle on a raised floor and the open top containment design that the server inlet temperatures were properly maintained.

With the launch of Polargy’s Rack Top Baffle, the question arises, does partial height containment work. Luckily, one of our customers conducted a CFD analysis on partial height panels and the results were positive. See a 60 second video on those results here: https://vimeo.com/166747303.

Today, we are launching our new PolarPlex™ Rack Top Baffle. This is a new option for cabinet supported containment that provides a significant reduction in both the installation and material costs of deploying open top architectures. The new baffles, with their tool-less installation, offer flexibility and convenience for sites that reconfigure their layouts frequently due to moves, additions, and changes. The baffle’s modular design makes them an economical, quick-to-install solution that can be repurposed through the life of the data center.

I particularly like the Rack Top Baffles because they represent a new class of containment panels that are well-suited for projects where the ROI goals are extremely aggressive. With these baffles operators can achieve a compelling payback on their energy savings projects.

One neat feature that we added to the baffle is a “J-Hook” so that lower level “InFIll” panels can be added to fill gaps between racks. This feature is ideal for spaces where there are columns or missing racks. In this case, we use a wider 5′ or 6′ Rack Top Baffle. Our baffles are available is standard and custom sizes.

We have been quite surprised by the amount of empty racks that are being deployed in data centers today. With that high demand for full rack blanking, Polargy has expanded our PolarFlex Full Rack Blanking Panel offering to include 42U, 45U, and 48U sizes and black, white, and custom art options. Check out the details at www.polarflex.biz.

Blanking is part of the Day 1 containment solution. In a new site like below, where the racks are empty on Day 1, the PolarFlex panels are the fastest, easiest, and most economical solution available.

Plus, we printed the blanking panels with server images, just for the fun of it.

Polargy’s Cold Aisle Containment can be seen in this recent CNN video on the Titan, the country’s largest supercomputer. The Titan is the most powerful computer in the United States available for use today.
